Distinguished Professor Peter Schwerdtfeger (born September 1, 1955) currently holds a chair in Theoretical Chemistry at Massey University in Auckland, New Zealand, serves as Director of the Centre for Theoretical Chemistry and Physics, is the Deputy Director of the New Zealand Institute for Advanced Study, and the past President of the New Zealand Alexander von Humboldt Association.

Academic career

Peter Schwerdtfeger took his first degree in Chemical Engineering at [https://www.hs-aalen.de/en Aalen University] in 1976, after finishing a degree as chemical-technical assistant at the [https://www.chf.de Institute Dr. Flad] in Stuttgart in 1973. He studied chemistry, physics and mathematics at Stuttgart University where he received his PhD in theoretical chemistry in 1986. He held a position as a software analyst at Stuttgart University (1981-1987) before receiving a Feodor-Lynen fellowship of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation to join the chemistry department and later the School of Engineering at University of Auckland in 1987. After a two years research fellowship at the Research School of Chemistry (Australian National University), he returned to Auckland University in 1991 for a lectureship in chemistry. He received his habilitation and venia legendi (Privatdozent) in 1995 from the Philipps University of Marburg. He held a personal chair in physical chemistry for five years until moving to Massey University Albany in 2004, where he established the Centre for Theoretical Chemistry and Physics. He became a founding member of the New Zealand Institute for Advanced Study in 2007. In 2007 he received the Royal Society Australasian Chemistry Lectureship, and was the Källen Lecturer in Physics at [https://www.lunduniversity.lu.se Lund University] (Sweden) in 2015. From 2017-2018 he was member of the Centre for Advanced Study at the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters. He published over 330 papers in international journals and books covering many different areas in fundamental science, and served on many international societies and editorial boards. He was awarded many international and national grants including eight consecutive Marsden awards by the Royal Society of New Zealand, and is one of the most cited chemist and physicist in the country.

Research Interests

Peter Schwerdtfeger's research interests are in fundamental chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Current research interests involve lattice sums in N dimensions, polyhedral graphs and topology of fullerenes, physics beyond the standard model, relativistic, quantum electrodynamic and electroweak interactions in atoms and molecules, development pseudopotentials for molecules and the solid state, confined quantum systems, equation of state of gases, liquids and solids, simulation of phase transitions including melting and vapourization, the chemistry and physics of heavy and superheavy elements, first principles ab-initio and density functional studies of the solid state, chemistry at extreme conditions, materials under high pressure, structure and properties of coordination and organometallic compounds, nuclear multipole moments and field gradients, weak interactions (Van der Waals type) between atoms and molecules containing heavy elements, gas separation and storage for hydrogen, carbon dioxide and methane, and simulation of metal clusters and nano-materials.
